Should I start Daniel Jones or Garrett Wilson in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 11:21 AM ET.

Start Daniel Jones: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Garrett Wilson's 96 percent of the snaps and 29 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Daniel Jones for Garrett Wilson?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Garrett Wilson projects 161 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (16.1 a game over 10 games), Daniel Jones 151 (15.1 a game over 10 games).

The gap

  • Board size304 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Daniel Jones, and the board ranks him 147th overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 34.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Garrett Wilson, and the board ranks him 149th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Daniel Jones is 12.9 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 12 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Garrett Wilson is 2.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 5 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Daniel Jones's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side

In 2025 Daniel Jones scored 18.0 PPR points a game and Garrett Wilson 14.2, 3.8 a game between them.

Daniel Jones finished QB17 and Garrett Wilson WR62, which are two different ladders.

Daniel Jones is a quarterback and Garrett Wilson a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 13, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
